Abstract
T
his study aimed to identify the effectiveness of using a proposed program for teaching physics based on the integration of the investigation model (4E×2) and thinking maps in modifying alternative perceptions of scientific concepts and developing the skills of scientific investigation and visual thinking among a group of first-year secondary school students, selected from secondary school students. New Girls in Minya Governorate; Their number is (30) female students, and the study followed the mixed research approach, where the descriptive approach was used in preparing: A list of physics curricula content standards and indicators related to the concepts of electricity and magnetism in the field of physical sciences - the developed framework for physics curricula content related to the concepts of electricity and magnetism in the light of the standards of the field The physical sciences for the three grades of the secondary stage, including curriculum maps, and the experimental approach based on a quasi-experimental one-group design in teaching the proposed program in physics about concepts related to electricity and magnetism based on the combination of the investigation model (4E×2) and thinking maps, and the study found the effectiveness of the program The proposal in modifying the alternative perceptions of scientific concepts among the students of the study group, the effect of the proposed program in developing the skills of scientific investigation among the students of the study group, but it is ineffective, the effect of the proposed program in developing visual thinking among the students of the study group, but it is also ineffective, the study also recommended the need to develop Physics curricula at the secondary stage in the light of the results of studies to achieve ie the field of physical sciences.
